Frequently Asked Questions
The Filter Lines tool allows you to filter lines in a text based on whether they contain or don't contain specific text. This is useful for extracting relevant information from logs, data files, or any text with multiple lines.
'Include' mode will keep only the lines that contain your filter text, removing all other lines. 'Exclude' mode will remove lines that contain your filter text, keeping all other lines.
When 'Case Sensitive' is enabled, the tool will only match text that has the exact same capitalization as your filter text. For example, searching for 'Error' would not match 'error' or 'ERROR'.
When 'Whole Word' is enabled, the tool will only match complete words that match your filter text, not parts of words. For example, searching for 'error' would match 'error' but not 'errorless' or 'xerror'.
The current version of the tool only supports filtering by a single term at a time. For more complex filtering, you may need to apply the filter multiple times with different terms.
